"content": "of the Commissioner of Excise Duty and give it clear roles. Apart from the fact that it may be a department or a directorate within KRA, it should have clear roles so that we do not seem to over-centralise everything at the doorstep of the Director-General of KRA. There are offences and penalties outlined in the Bill. Paying tax is never a pleasant thing. It is a pain that we impose upon tradespeople. However, as long as people are able to see what their taxes do for them, the need for these penalties will never arise. People will be happy to pay tax. If Kenyans were to be assured that on the taxes they pay, their children will go to school, they will have good roads, there will be running water and all the other services will be provided, they will be happy and pay tax. I support this Bill, but I will be proposing amendments. I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
